James Horn Poet Couplet

My Dad Really Did Die

My Dad Really Did Die

My dad is buried in the sea so deep, 
Off of Sicily where he now does sleep;
God, there please comfortably keep, 
While I am counting more sheep.

Jim Horn

Drowned off of the Intrepid CVN-11
in Mediterranean. CPO Arthur F. Horn,
AOC, August 7, 1956 and missing at
sea for 3 weeks before his body
washed up on shore.
